ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
Cerulean Gallery kicks off 2025 “On the Bright Side” with an exhibition featuring artwork by Rob Joyner and Allison Castillo. Please join us for the opening reception on Friday, January 24, 6 PM – 8 PM.
Rob Joyner, a resident of University Park, is known for his large-scale abstract paintings consisting of colorful thick layers of plaster and gels. His intricate creative processes channel his anxiety into artistic expression. Joyner titles his pieces after the daily rhythms of parenthood—playful phrases and gentle reminders exchanged between him, his wife, and children. By transforming these earnest moments into titles, he infuses serious, weighted experiences with lightness and joy.
Allison Castillo is known for her “Graffiti Love” paintings, which adorn the walls of Snider Plaza’s Penne Pomodoro and dozens of homes across the DFW area and beyond. Castillo will be unveiling new works inspired by positive words and phrases written in vibrant colors and accented with neon lights and vintage frames.
